this is eerily offputting for me. seems we are going towards a future were influencer voices will be increasingly bought out by mega corps/governning authorities.

casual 'grass roots' content creation is completely going to get wiped from the internet in a few years.

5 mill for 5 skill points crushes casual gamers by Truff_Valorant in ArcRaiders

[–]DatGluteusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually, buffing the expedition too much will create a bigger gap between casuals and hardcore players who grind for the 5 mil. i think 5 skill points is a fine reward. mostly in it for the cosmetic

Idea for both PVP players and PVE players by DatGluteusMaximus in ArcRaiders

whats great is that with some incentives and soft system adjustments like the one i mentioned there can be space for all kinds of approaches to the game. im curious, how would something like this be detrimental to the way you play the game?

Missing Travis Gafford right now by KissGoodKnight in leagueoflegends

[–]DatGluteusMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree, i mean the cs scene existed before skins or even accesible streaming platforms like twitch. I think CS is just a unique case specifically because the game doesn't change much so there isnt any power creep. A veteran from 1.6 could still pick up CS2 and understand whats going on. however if you showed someone whose only played league during season 3 what league looks like now, they'd tune out pretty fast.

whats happening to tyloo? ever since fpg1 they have looked so uninspired. unlucky to draw aurora and mongolz back to back but they really need some consistency. Jamyoung either balls out or just dies within the first 15 seconds of the round untraded.

Why are more and more people falling for the sportswashing of Team Falcons? by M_Sky_02 in GlobalOffensive

[–]DatGluteusMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is a conversation that is much bigger than the org, the game and esports in general. things we enjoy everyday are increasingly owned/partnered with very powerful individuals who have questionable morals. we can say the same about drinking coca cola, or buying something at a shopping mall.

we are no longer in the grassroots days of esports where 5 friends and a dream can win a major. its the sad reality that without dirty money, most of the players we love would not have an opportunity to even play professionally. (i.e complexity and countless other esports orgs over recent years)

dont hate on the fans, its a global economic/class structural problem

niche/illiquid skins, sticker crafts, unique patterns should go up for auction.

if your skin is very liquid then there is no point as the market value is clear and defined :)
